which tab do you use?

adkmountainken · June 05, 2016, 04:42:00 PM

just tried a tab after shooting with a glove forever. looking to buy a new tab. I shoot 3 under and usually shooting bows from 55-65 pounds. any recommendations? thinking I might like something a bit thick but not sure.

I like the Bateman 's and the Black Widow tabs however I am not sure about their 3 under tabs.

Bateman , split fingers

Pretty much any calf hair tab works well for me.

Give Don Ward a call at Eagle Flight Archery he has some that is 'second to none'

Black Widow.

ok now I notice that their is defiantly 2 different types for 3 under, a solid piece and one with slits, much difference in shooting either style?

I like the black widow tabs as well.

I use a Saunders Pak-Tab. The newer ones are not quite as good as the older ones I use, but still good nonetheless.

Ken,
I have been using the Rod Jenkins Signature tab since they came out and can recommend it highly. You can find them at Rod's site Safari Tuff or Big Jim's. Good luck with a tab and to answer your other question when I was still able to hunt I wore Sitka merino gloves and the tab over them. This combo kept my string hand warm and the tab was right there all the time.

Regards,
Rick

Black Widow for somethng like 40 years now......

Bateman 3 under tab and ron jenkins tab love both of these. I tried others but these are my favorites. The bateman is a little thicker than the jenkins tab.

I shoot split and use an Eichler tab from 3 rivers.

Rod Jenkins tab for me

meatCKR · June 05, 2016, 07:23:00 PM

I use the Bateman tab. Whichever one you get, I highly recommend cordovan leather. The stuff lasts forever and just keeps getting slicker the more you use it. Had my Bateman cordovan for 3 years now and it actually better than when I bought it new. Probably the best 12 bucks I ever spent.

I've been using a Bateman 3 under cordovan. Took me a bit to get use to it I switched from an Amercan Leathers Big shot shooting split. I just made the switch to 3 under so far my accuracy has been more consistent. But I could just be having some good sessions to we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks.

Rod Jenkins safari tuff and black widow. Shot the black widow tab for a few years but like the safari better.

adkmountainken · June 06, 2016, 06:58:00 AM

going to go with a Bateman cordovan tab and then possibly try a Jenkins. I wear a medium glove I assume that's what I should order for a tab?
